aka Boronia

One of the best shrubs to come out of Australia is this highly fragrant A delight to the senses, when we most need it in late winter. The little round brown/yellow flowers appear en masse, complement the dainty bronze-green foliage. Needs good drainage and acid soil. Evergreen

Don't be disappointed if your Boronia does not have a long life. Mother Nature designed it that way as in Australia it usually naturally regenerates from seed after being destroyed by fire. Pruning immediately after flowering may assist re-growth.
